1971 Porsche 911t Targa on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
|
1971 Porsche 911 T Targa 2.2. Original color was gold, which can still be seen in a few obscure spots. Zenith carbs. Everything appears original except the side mirrors which a previous owner installed. Not sure about the front nudge bar. Rear window is removed, but in good shape in storage. The car deserves a complete restoration and I don't have the time or money to do it.
I bought the car 14 years ago and it was my daily driver for a couple of years. It was insanely fun to drive, but I realized that the suspension pan was rusting and I took it off the road to weld in new pan. Also painted front suspension parts and gas tank with POR-15. Front is in good shape, but I found that rocker panels were rusted out and needed replacement, as well as the top of the quarter panels where they meet the rear window. I got interested in other things and the car has been sitting all these years. I religiously started it regularly for year after year, but I failed to start it for about a year and I think the carbs have varnished up with old gas. I bought a carb rebuild kit to replace accelerator pumps, but it still wont run right. It will run for a few seconds but won't idle. I think the carbs need a complete rebuild. Floorpans and bottom appear solid. Other minor rust in hood and trunk inner lids and bottom of drivers side fender. Suspension , brakes, electrical, interior in good shape. One heat exchanger is rusted, other is stainless. The car ran great before going into storage other than a syncro problem with second gear. It would have to put it into second very slowly or it would grind. Interior is in good shape considering its over 40 years old. Normal cracks in the dash. Windows and interior controls all work fine. Targa top needs a liner. Car comes with rocker panel parts, rear window, and various odds and ends as can be seen in the photos. Odometer shows 30884, actual mileage is unknown. |

Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
Porsche planning jacked-up 911 Safari? [w/poll]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013The Porsche 911 may, for some, be the quintessential sportscar. And that typically means keeping it on paved roads and racing circuits. But there's a proud history to taking the Elfen off-road that traces back to specially-prepared 911s (like the one pictured above) which Porsche fielded in rallies in the late '70s and early '80s. And now Porsche is reportedly preparing to tap back into that history with a new off-road 911 model, according to the Auto Bild Motor Revue.
Tipped to be called the 911 Safari, the special variant would be based on the Carrera 4 but upgrade with bigger tires fitted to a beefed-up suspension with higher ground clearance and underbody skid plates. The model is expected to be presented initially as a concept at the Beijing Motor Show next April. But if enough interest is expressed - particularly from buyers in developing markets where the roads might not be as smooth as those to which North American and European drivers have become accustomed - Stuttgart could put it into production in 2016, when the current 991 is expected to get a mid-cycle refresh.

New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L
Mon, 02 Jun 2014Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.
